The Bridal Wave
by Erin Torneo Valerie Cabrera KrauseIt starts with the IGBN (I’ve Got Big News) phone calls and a mailbox full of Save the Dates. Next comes the meltdown: I always thought I’d be married by now.

The Bride(zilla) of Christ
by Ted Kluck Ronnie MartinSometimes, Church Hurts The Church, the Bride of Christ. That description conjures up images of radiant white bride, eyes sparkling with peace and harmony, right? Maybe that's why it's such a gut-punch when that Bride behaves more like a grade school bully or a hot tempered drill sergeant. What do you do with that reality, a reality that sometime hurts? Ted Kluck and Ronnie Martin aren't interested in 140 characters of tweetable comfort. They'd rather share their own stories of being both the wounded and the wounder. Plus they offer practical, yes-you-can-do-this steps to moving forward in those times not if, but when the Church hurts. Bride(zilla) of Christ is a verbal I.V. dripping with the mercy found only in Christ. Though you've been wronged, or perhaps wronged another, there is cause for great hope. The hurt is not the deepest thing. Grace is deeper still.
The Bridge to Growth: How Servant Leaders Achieve Better Results and Why It Matters Now More Than Ever
by Jude RakeA recent study revealed that only 21 percent of workers feel engaged and truly committed to their company’s success and goals. They don’t know how their work connects to their company’s goals or understand how they can help achieve them. Leaders have failed to fully engage workers in the development and execution of their company’s mission and goals, and ultimately its journey toward success. Too often, employees are over-managed and under-led. Jude Rake, a business leader with more than 35 years of experience leading high-performance teams, shows how servant leaders—those who serve employees by giving them what they need to fully engage and commit to achieving the company’s goals—use nine proven principles to succeed:Grow leaders and difference makers, not just followers.Build and orchestrate high-performance teams more powerful than the sum of their parts. Focus the organization on strategic priorities, simplify operations, and accelerate progress.Champion the people who purchase and use your products and services.Cultivate a performance-based culture of innovation.Communicate relentlessly.See the world through the eyes of others. Be the model you want emulated. Coach people to achieve more than they thought possible.The Bridge to Growth details how to use these principles to elevate workforce engagement, collaboration, innovation, and accountability to build a bridge from strategy to exceptional execution and results.

The Brink: How Great Leadership is Invented
by Mark HunterThe Brink is a method for generating leadership in an individual leader and on a team. It is based on the simple assertion that leadership is created in the face of some great challenge or obstacle to overcome, rather than in a vacuum or in comfortable places with no adversity. The Brink model uses climbing a mountain as an analogy throughout for creating that big challenge or goal, and then demonstrates how to create a team to climb it with and outlines the way to create leadership in everyone involved in the process. This metaphor transfers to virtually any leadership position one holds and is organized into a clear list of ingredients essential to leadership.
The Broken American Male: And How to Fix Him
by Shmuley BoteachWhy do American husbands come home from work too exhausted to interact with their families? When did a healthy quest for prosperity become a twisted game no one can win? How did Black Berries and internet porn become more interesting to men than their flesh-and-blood spouses? Shmuley Boteach has made a great study of how families live today-both in his work as a rabbi privately and as host of TLC's 'Shalom in the Home'. He's discovered a disturbing common thread in the families he meets: men responding to the pressure of competition in their work lives by turning away from their loved ones. In a world that judges men by the size of their paychecks and the wattage of their fame, it's all too easy to lose sight of what is truly valuable in life. Men who consider themselves failures and don't love themselves turn into stressed-out dads, distracted husbands and miserable human beings. For these men, alcohol, the internet and sporting events serve as numbing stand-ins for read life. In THE BROKEN AMERICAN MALE, Boteach doesn't just outline the problems facing marriages and nuclear families. He also offers practical, inspiring solutions, showing how wives can reach out to their husbands, helping them become heroes again to their own families.
The Broken Home or Lessons in Sorrow
by B. M. PalmerB. M. Palmer relates a series of personal experiences bereaving a deceased child; how to come to terms with the loss, honor the memory of the departed, and rediscover meaning, hope and value in life.The loss of one's son or daughter is among the most soul-shattering experiences a parent can go through. Witnessing a loved one's decline as illness takes hold, and having to make the experience of dying comfortable for them while dealing with the emotional impact, is a process defined by anguish and difficulty. The author lived at a time when child mortality was higher than in the modern day; experiencing loss successive times, it is only with sheer strength of will that the author was able to continue living.Writing at the end of the 19th century, Palmer's thesis is partially rooted in the values and precepts of Christianity rather than modern psychological and therapeutic approaches. However, the practical advice and philosophical reflections, plus the expressive verses, carry a certain spiritual gravitas that is useful yet uncommon in modern grief counseling. The Broken Home thus remains a unique, worthy and poignant read, having resulted from the experience of multiple family tragedies.-Print ed.

The Buddha at My Table: How I Found Peace in Betrayal and Divorce
by Tammy LethererCan you come sit at the table? Tammy Letherer’s husband of twelve years spoke these words on a Tuesday night, just before Christmas, after he had put their three children in bed. He had a piece of paper and two fingers of scotch in front of him. As he read from the list in his hand, his next words would shatter her world and destroy every assumption she'd ever made about love, friendship, and faithfulness. In The Buddha at My Table, Letherer describes―in honest, sometimes painful detail―the dismantling of a marriage that encompasses the ordinary and the surreal, including the night she finds a silent, smiling Thai monk sitting at the same dining room table. It’s this unexpected visitation, this personification of peace, that sticks with her as she listens to her husband reveal hurtful, shocking things―that he never loved her, he doesn’t believe in monogamy, and he wants to “wrap things up” with her in four weeks―and allows her to find the blessing in her husband’s betrayal. Ultimately, it’s when she realizes that she is participating in her life, not at its mercy, that she discovers the path to freedom.

The Buddha in Your Mirror: Practical buddhism and the Search for Self
